dB2SDT Mod Xenonph
Manufacturer: Gottlieb
Year: 1986
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Unspecified

This is a DT table with working dB2S backglass on same screen.
I first would like to thank JPSalas for allowing mods without permission, and I want to thank Hauntfreaks for his permission to use his works of art!!
 
THE METHOD I AM USING TO CONVERT THESE DESKTOP VERSION TABLES TO BE ABLE TO USE AND HAVE ON SAME SCREEN A WORKING TABLE AND WORKING DB2S BACKGLASS IS A METHOD I LEARNED FROM KAAN, SO I WANT TO THANK HIM VERY MUCH.
 
YOU WILL NEED THE dB2S BACKGLASS PROGRAM INSTALLED FOR THIS TABLE TO WORK PROPERLY.
I HAVE INCLUDED B2S Backglass Server 1.3.0.2 WITH DOWNLOAD.
 
YOU WILL NEED TO KEEP THESE 4 ITEMS IN SAME FOLDER FOR THESE TABLES TO WORK PROPERLY.

SCREENRES.TXT
B2S.EXE
PINBALL TABLE.VPT
BACKGLASS.DB2S

SIMPLY START TABLE AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHER TABLE. THE DB2S BACKGLASS WILL AUTOMATICALLY STAY ON SCREEN.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO USE A DIFFERENT BACKGLASS, SIMPLY NAME NEW BACKGLASS SAME AS TABLE NAME AND PUT IN SAME FOLDER AS TABLE.
IF YOU USE 3 SCREEN BACKGLASSES THAT HAVE DMD, YOU CAN RIGHT CLICK ON A RUNNING BACKGLASS AND CHANGE IT TO HIDE GRILL, AS THESE 3 SCREEN VERSIONS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY WITH THIS METHOD. ALSO ANY DB2S FILES THAT ARE REALLY LARGE WONT WORK WITH THIS METHOD AS IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR THE BACKGLASS TO LOAD.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH FLIPPERS STICKING, TRY RESTARTING TABLE AS THIS IS USUALLY DUE TO FIRST TIME PLAYING TABLE ON SYSTEM.

NOW YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE FULL BACKGLASS IN ACTION, AS SEEN BY CABINET USERS, ON A DESKTOP VERSION TABLE!!!
 
HOPE YOU ENJOY, AND REMEMBER TO THANK THE ORIGINAL AUTHORS OF THESE TABLES AND BACKGLASSES!!

Thanks again for the xenonph. Does this method also work for VPX tables?

[xenonph]

Yes this method works for VPX!!

Although when I tried it on Attack from Mars VPX, an error kept popping up. But when I tried amazing Spider-Man, It worked!! Worked on all VP9 tables, so I stuck to that category.

I can definately make VPX DT mods if there is an interest in these mods.

I am trying to involve all Table and Backglass Authors, to showcase there work. And I will not leave the VP9ers on the wayside. This method even works on VP8 tables, but I doubt there would be interest for me to mod those.

The waiting for permission is what takes longest.

Hope everyone likes these new dB2S DT mods. It really adds to the Pinball Experience!!

Hope all is going well for you Scotty. Thanks for the kind words my friend.

Have a great weekend!!
